Repo Men

Action, Drama
3.5 stars
A decent futuristic guy film full of violence and icky organ extractions. Tip: you probably don’t want to be eating your popcorn during the opening sequence. Jude Law stars as a repo man, alongside Forest Whitaker, who has no problem removing organs from folks who’ve become delinquent on their payments – that is until he becomes an organ recipient himself. Obviously his company doesn’t offer workmen’s compensation. There were a few picky little details that bugged me, but probably won’t bother the average movie-goer, such as Law’s English accent when he supposedly grew up with Whitaker, and I’m a little hazy on Whitaker’s strange commitment to Law (you’ll see) which also became questionable. Anyway, guys will love all the shooting and fight scenes and totally gross organ extractions.
